Decision made - the dog wins (again)

We've had some big decisions to make recently which have involved new job offers in Asia.This would have our family spread over four continents this year!We have one daughter studying in America, Another just leaving for a volunteer project in Africa, My son and I need to stay in Australia whilst he finishes school and Mr Wren potentially disappearing off to Asia.Roll on my yoga retreat to Bali in May, that's all I can say.Ohmmmmmmm... However, there is just one small problemNow own up? Which one of you reported us to the RSPCA on account of potentially abandoning a dog??

Or where taking him for a pee involves a trip down from the 41st floor?

A lifestyle where we'd be often away on business trips or visiting the kids...

The crazy poodle would have a very different life in Asia...

Would we be taking him for us,

to have that wonderful happy, wagging tail and enthusiastic welcome

to greet us every time we came home?

Yes Lina you're right, we need to ensure his happiness is our priority,

I know I couldn't bare to leave him but...

As Pat and Mon both reminded us

how we would be lost without him, and as

Mon says, we know that life wouldn't be the same without him..

I agree!

The crazy poodle chill'axing on the bridge which is warm with the sun's rays!

Thank you to Eileen and Nessie and everyone

who offered to adopt him!

Yes I did have a chuckle that perhaps we should send him to Europe

so we could add in another continent into the equation!

But the news is that Mutt is not up for adoption and we are not abandoning himNor are we taking him to a foreign climesWe're staying here in Australia at least for a little bit longer...Excitement over, adventure cancelled.Anyone want to come on a dog walk with me?

As you can see I love to receive your comments!

I normally reply to each one on my blog but this time I tried something a little different!If you are not on Google + you can contact me direct by e-mail from the sidebarHave a wonderful week!

Are you ready for the first Grand Slam of the year? The Aus Open starts next week (Monday 13th - Sunday 26 January) but Melbourne is already in full swing (ha ha) with tennis players and tennis action.

You can pay to watch some of the top seeded Men's players in action at the Kooyong Classic, just down the road. Or, you can join me for what I say is one of the best value tennis, indeed let's say sporting tickets in the world. The Australian Open qualifying tournament (Jan 8 -11), where you can wander in for free. Yes free!

The 'Qualies' is one of the secret treasures of the Aus Open where players compete and must win matches on three consecutive days to secure one of the last remaining spots in the main draw. For the past seven years we have been a host family for tennis players, which is how we have become so familiar with the highs and lows of this lead up event... So would you like a sneak peak inside Melbourne Park, whi…

Life is not about finding ourselves it is about creating ourselves!George Bernard ShawCooee! It's me calling in from Thailand. Sorry, it's been a while, it's been a tad busy. Still, we've not done badly. We've moved into our temporary apartment and are well on the way to finding something more permanent. We're overlooking the American Embassy compound, which is acres of impressive greenery in amongst the high rise buildings. I love it, I can even hear the little birds sing in the morning. So welcome to my new life as .... drum roll please, Hmmm actually, I have no bleedin’ idea, so how about Bangkok Blogger for now? How would you feel if you were to arriving in a new country, where you know no-one, and you're not even sure what your life will entail? For me, it was a feeling of excitement, crossed with a rolling of the eyes, a smile and my 'here we go again' expression. Of course, this always happens Mr Wren was away travelling and so I rocked up for …

Hello dear friends in Blogland. How are you doing?
I am pleased to be here for Friendship Friday
I've had a great week and have well and truly settled back into my Asian life
where I am enjoying making new friends both locally and in here in the blogosphere.

I've had fun, I have joined a new group - the American Women's Club of Thailand.
Why the American's when you're a British Aussie? You may well ask. Well firstly they take anyone, these Expat women's groups really are not that fussy!

Well, except for the ANZWG Group where you need to be closely associated with Australia and New Zealand. I am, I have the passport and I have a family, home and of course an Aussie Crazy Poodle Down Under and I miss my Melbourne life terribly, but my life in Thailand is more about meeting women from around the globe.

I have always had lots of American friends, I chat with many Americans via my blog...

... anyway they let this little bird in and she's chirpy about that! The…
